Across the year
AS 203 quarter by quarter
AS 203 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 86.8% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 58.7%, a swing of 28 points on roughly 77 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

- Apr–Jun 202691 flights86.8%

By weekday, AS 203 did best on Wednesday at 79.5% on time and worst on Friday at 61.9%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

10 of 76 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 13% of them. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at SAN.
The worst days
Worst days for AS 203
The latest arrival of the period was on 28 June 2026, 5 hours 22 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 June 2026 | 5 hours 22 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 August 2026 | 4 hours 46 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 March 2026 | 3 hours 58 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 July 2026 | 2 hours 47 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AS 203 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 51% of the 5,178 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
51% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,178 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 14 to one. The split is drawn from 5,178 delay minutes reported on AS 203.
Cancellations sit at 0.98% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.65%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 2,540 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including ABQ to PDX (7), but none flew often enough under AS 203 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OGG to SAN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 307 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
